"I'm not."
Cleo raised a single brow on what Misha mumbled, she gave an unconvincing look and held the can of beer tightly. "Fool yourself."
She doesn't drink, she was on the right age to drink but she doesn't want to taste any alcohol, she saw what alcohol can do to your body and it's unpleasant so no one can convinced her to drink one.
"No. Really. I just thought this is a great way to sympathize you."
Even though that one only wants to symphathize you or was just a messed up bitch and assumed that she needed it.
Blanche doesn't know what to reply. Misha had always been there since her childhood, both Astolfo watched her grew up.
She was tempted to taste a beer because of that. Misha was right, she needed someone's sympathy right now.
"Thank you."
"Remember the guy you killed? He was connected with the Crowne's," Misha said in a more loud voice that she didn't know
"It's just like they said, a woman could gone loco if a man cheats on her."Blanche glared at the man and continued to scratched the back of her right hand.It suddenly became itchy, it's like a caterpillar rest itself on the back of her hand."Blanche," Astolfo called in a low voice.He tried to made Blanche looked at him, but she didn't leave her death stare to the man in front of them.Even his posture of someone of a bodyguard made Blanche's blood boil in annoyance. The french man doesn't seem to mind though, after all, he was the closest one to Blanche."Bon. Please stop the act. Blanche's becoming irritated. You don't want that, right?"The man loses his smile when he heard Astolfo. He turned at him and squinted his eyes. "You don't advise your superior.""Ha," Astolfo mocked and moved his shoulders, "but I just did."Bon gritted his teeth like an animal in the
Blanche heaved a sigh, she was left alone in the room after Astolfo, Bon, and Doe left her for their mission. It was just what was right, she tried to convinced herself as her shoulder fell on the sofa. She became restless, stupid, and blind. That's just what she deserved. Bon made sure that she took all her incompetence to heart before they left. The CEO, Xian Cheng, who died in her arms was still haunting them. Making Blanche reconsider her steps. Was she became rushed with the situation because she wanted to get back to that lying bastard as soon as possible? Well, she really made the wrong decision. Blanche painted Astolfo as the bad one from trying to wrecked their relationship, but in the end, she was proved the opposite. Astolfo's right. She should've believe in him. "Blanche?" She turned her gaze to the little girl that opened the door. "Pa said you'll play with us for the day." F
There's an underlying reason why Bon summoned her here. And maybe, one of them was to babysit the twins. But there's a bigger picture on it. Blanche could sensed it, the way Bon and Doe looked at her as if they're really angry, but not, really."It's an Axolotl.""You didn't see him before?" Crimson asked Blanche with such a worried expression that made her 20/20 vision get questioned."I'm sorry?""This is a pet. Pa gave him to us as a gift." Forest tapped the glass and the Axolotl showed up from the huge stone he was hiding.Blanche looked at the aquarium's portal that they made to have a clear view of what was happening below the water because of all the duckweed Crimson put.She saw a dark greyish green tiger salamander in a form of fish swam around the huge stone inside the aquarium.Bon's not bad on being a father from the two, Blanche thought, he was trying to be a father figure f
"Ace?"It was the first name she blurted when the man's face got stricken from the little light that came from the window.His face was afflicted with pain and his soaked bloodied coat got slits on the back. He stared at Blanche like a zombie that can bore a hole on hers before he collapsed and rested his face on her shoulder as he murmured in pain.Blanche held him and took a step back, it was no time for thinking when she can smell blood and she was made as his pole that kept him from stumbling."Hey..." she trailed, she tried to poke his cheeks with her hand her and tried her best to adjust to the weight of his body."What happened?" She held both his cheeks and glowered at him.He tried to opened his eyes and blinked repeatedly. "You...... run...... blood."He closed his eyes again and crashed his body to hers that made them fell on the floor. Blanche didn't understood
"What a shame, you became like that."Blanche can't help but to raised a brow on her. The robot learned how to smirk and gave her such intensity that challenged her appeal.Blanche sashayed in front of her and didn't hesitated to crouched down to leveled with her gaze. She crossed her arms and went close to whispered in her ears."What a shame. You can't be like me," she said with a piercing gaze, that's when Blanche saw how Hent's hand balled into fist.A high-grade robot just like Hent was modeled to be just like Blanche, she was thrilled to learned that at first and she even established their friendship. She was happy to learned that they created someone to looked liked her, because after her family's death Blanche had a hard time connecting to people.So, she thought the organization did that for her– created Hent, but when she grew older and her perspective about the world widened, she realized they didn't creat
It was no denying that Blanche still cared for Hent like a little sister, but everything's change now and she hoped that whatever she'd do, Hent can understand. After all, she was created to have the ability of a human.As she stared at the twin in separate beds, one has red motif in hers and a glittery guitar that has a burning fake fire on it while the other was designed with green landscapes and butterflies and flowers.Just like how different their personality was, the twin worked and sync in harmony, Crimson loves Forest as much as she did and with just one look, they can succeed. Crimson would automatically do the right thing and be straightened to protect her sister.Crimson was more affectionate, she was never vocal but her action was louder than her voice, it speaks volume and that was enough to connect the two in an invisible string of sisterhood.Blanche hope she could get that same relationship in time wit
"What's in this paper?" Blanche sat on the only sofa in the room, her hand held the paper she snatched from the man."Blanche, please." He touched the bridged of his nose as they both remained quiet.They heard them enter the room and a female voice– Blanche guessed as Doe– talked in a horrifying manner."Is there a ghost here?"Blanche rolled her eyes and rest her back, her hand accidentally swoop a stack of books on the side."What's that?!" They heard them say, Blanche watched as dust flew and disappeared from the air.She focused on one particular journal that was shaded the brightest red from the others. She bend from her seat and picked it from the ground."Don't touch that!" The man pointed at the bright red book on her grip, he did not leave from the small staircase that headed to the shelf. They're in the secret room of Noir, the second Blanche finished counting to three,
Blanche succeeded in taking them to the basement. Bon and Doe exchanged looks as they get down the stairs, following Blanche’s lead.They knew something was wrong, and they knew what Blanche could do. They just never expected that the man Doe grazed with her gun got into their vicinity, more specifically, to the mansion. The security in their vicinity was no joke, Doe monitored and checked everything, and it was a good idea that their mansion was at the center of their made-up forest. It was easy for Hent to maneuver the parameter.However, there's something, a feeling, that stops Doe and Bon from getting harsh with Blanche. After all, that was the last wish given.They turned blind from Blanche’s loopholes just how parents turned a blind eye for their children, and that's just right because when will a teenage girl experience the life of being a teenage girl?Blanche wasn't given that time, she was depriv
